"Google says this visual AI search feature update allows people to find inspiration. Instead of jumping over to Google Images to find relevant photos, you can do all of that in AI Mode. Google offered the example of someone wanting design inspirations for their bedroom who asks to see maximalist bedroom photos. Images are linked, so users can click out and learn more about that image."
"AI Mode's visual search capabilities are rooted in Google Lens, which lets people use phone cameras to search for photos or similar items online. AI Mode will also allow people to upload their own photos and search that way. Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source. Along with being able to see more visuals in AI Mode, Google says it's improving shopping features."
"Image search in AI Mode brings Google another step closer to making its core online search product an AI product. As people become more accustomed to searching based on intent with AI synthesizing information in the background, the idea of typing in keywords and looking through ten blue links is becoming a relic. Google is leaning heavily on AI to stay competitive with ChatGPT maker OpenAI and to meet Wall Street's pressure for it to remain a top player."
AI Mode in Google Search will surface images as part of conversational answers, letting users request inspiration, refine visual details, and click linked images for more information. The visual capabilities are powered by Google Lens and support both camera-based searches and uploaded photos. Users can iterate on results with natural-language prompts such as color or style adjustments. Shopping features accept conversational constraints and return retailer listings matching those specifications. The integration moves core Search toward intent-driven, AI-synthesized results and positions Google to compete with other AI platforms while enhancing the shopping and visual discovery experience.
